Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Ant easing my way into review mode with 'Count Herbert II' the spanking new CD by FULBORN TEVERSHAM that's currently just woken me up from my coma. This is the new project of Seb Rochford (Polar Bear / Acoustic Ladyland). This is an inventive blend of punk, jazz and electronics. The tracks are dynamic but maintain a sense of direction. After the first squawking tenor sax bit kicks in, you fear its going to wonder off into avant-jazz noodle territory but thankfully it doesn't. With tracks that ooze huge energy to more sleazy numbers and analogue synth led pieces. The drumming is consistently slamming. Brian say's he can hear bits of Trans Am, John Zorn, and Th' Faith Healers all mangled together. Out on Pickled Egg. Maggie wanted a pickled egg from the chippy the other week but they'd stopped selling them. You should have seen her face. It was like someone had died.

What the label says:

Fulborn Teversham are the mindblowing new group of Seb Rochford, the extraordinarily in-demand and prolific drummer/composer, leader of Mercury Music prize nominees Polar Bear, and winner of BBC Jazz award for Rising Star 2004. Fulborn Teversham pursue a more eclectic, and less overtly jazz direction than Polar Bear, or indeed Rochford’s other acclaimed group, Acoustic Ladyland, incorporating elements of electronica, Henry Cow-style prog and post punk, together with Rochford’s deft but driving drums, and Pete Wareham’s garrulous tenor sax. With clever balancing of cosmic and acoustic sounds, Seb Rochford, Nick Ramm (Jade Fox) on Nord synthesizer, Pete Wareham (Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland) on saxophones, and Alice Grant (Leafcutter John) on vocals, set up an intimate and thrilling improvisational punk jazz chamber music for the future. Forget the jokes about drummers being people who hang out with musicians - Seb Rochford is a music academy graduate who plays several instruments and can converse about any genre from modern classical to grind core. He does, however, hang out with an inordinate number of musicians, playing with 'about 10 different bands', at the last count, including the acclaimed Polar Bear, whose recent album, ‘Held on the Tips of Fingers’, was nominated for the highly prestigious 2005 Mercury Music Prize. It went on to appear in the top 100 all time jazz recordings that shook the World in Jazzwise Magazine in 2006.
